06 Aug New Order announce massive Power, Corruption and Lies boxset
The reissue campaign for New Order rolls on.
The synth-pop group have announced the “2020 Definitive Edition” of Power, Corruption & Lies. The seminal album will be reissued on October 2nd in a boxset of an LP, two CDs, two DVDs and a book.
Released in 1983, the album heralded the arrival of a pop juggernaut after the subdued post-punk of Movement two years prior. This reissue will feature a brand-new remaster from the original tapes.
The boxset, as with most of their releases, is designed by long-time collaborator Peter Saville.

An additional CD called Extras will feature previously unreleased tracks, and the two DVDs are comprehensive as well.
The first captures New Order live during 1982 and 1983 at The Hacienda and Kilkenny. The second DVD includes the 1984 Play at Home Channel 4 TV documentary and other rare live and TV performances.
The boxset is rounded up by a 48-page hardback book of rare photos and original text collated by Warren Jackson.
Not included in the box, but issued at the same time are four 12-inch singles of non-album singles ‘Blue Monday’, ‘Confusion’, ‘Thieves Like Us’ and ‘Murder’. These feature brand-new remastered audio.
Check out the 12″ mockups, along with the complete tracklist of the boxset and singles, below. Pre-order from Amazon here.
